Thread: Henckels and Ben Hur in Cocobolo

Love the cocobolo, your thread made me go out and buy some and have sliced it up for some rescales.

Take a round chopstick and cut off a 3-4 inch round piece, put a small divot in one end with a drill or Dremel bit about the size of the pin to be polished, just a bit smaller.

Put a dab of rubbing compound or diamond paste just, a bit and lightly polish on a drill press at slow speed. Finish with a dab of metal polish. It will also polish the washer.

Gleaming, smooth, perfectly round pins.

Bamboo itself is abrasive and by its self no paste is good for final polishing pins. Make a few for different size pins, they are good for just polishing pins when cleaning up a razor, just a few taps as you described.
